It’s old fashioned, it’s clichéd, it’s what your mother/father used to say – but it’s true - ‘every little bit helps!’

All our electricity is solar:

- There is no mains connection at all. No greenhouse gas emissions, no trees cut down, no land dug up to put in pylons and industrial wiring.
- Our new village system, with super-size storage batteries works just like 'ordinary' power.
- We do use gas for hot water, though. Being green doesn’t mean living in an 18th century seminary or convent. Reliable warm water makes us all more cheerful.

Our water is our own too:

- It comes out of the sky and into our tanks without dam-digging, and subsequent massive environmental and ecological change.
- It's water without the need for chemicals or intrusive, polluting, coal-fired infrastructure.

Bunjaree Cottages were built with a vision for a sustainable future:

- Each of the cottages is constructed of earth from the land which means insulation, protection and stength.
- We use Fair Trade products, recycle as much as we can, encourage a sense of joy in the beauty of our environment.

Bunjaree is a display of diversity:
- On Bunjaree there ae rare plants and birds – including ‘woody pears’, wild waratahs, gang gang cockatoos.
- There is also a rare and wonderful hanging swamp cascading down behind the cottages. It’s fragile and very beautiful.

Please note: We do burn wood:

- This is an environmental issue, as poorly constructed fires are a pollution problem. We can’t - and wouldn’t - use the wood on our land as it is providing habitats.
- The wood we buy is expensive, but it's already fallen, very solid hardwood.
- The Bunjaree wood levy helps support a replanting program. It takes years for wood to get to the density required to produce warmth – but you’ve gotta start sometime!

A stay at Bunjaree means that the world is better off by at least the amount of green-house gas you, and your family/friends, would have normally have caused to be emitted over that time.
